�1970-1971
; 971- 972
South Fulton had served the black commumty for
decades before Russell became its sister school
with the advent of integratron in 1970. Neither
school was large enough to hold both student
bodies, so it was decided South Fulton would teach
all the eighth graders in the area.
Few photo:; exist from th1s period, as no annual was
compiled for the first two groups of eighth graders.
Grown now, the South Fultonites of 1971 and 1972
still remember their year here as a umque and
exciting experience ...

�1972-1973
"A new world awaits," said the third
generation of South Fulton eighth
graders rn the school's first annual.
They described themselves as
''laughmg, learning, and sharing."
Their teachers remember them as
bemg as unusually active and tight
knit. The friendships made by many of
them during their year here exist still,
three years after their graduation
from Russell.

�1973-1974
The students of 1973-1974 were characteristically
more serious than the classes preceeding them.
Concerned with ''hate, violence, and war,'' the
eighth graders said, "Compared to the rest of the
world we may seem small," but vowed to work for a
better tomorrow, demonstrating peace, friendship,
and understanding. Perhaps it was this same spirit
which contributed to ending the Vietnam war the
following year.

"Togetherness" was the word the 19741975 eighth graders of South Fulton
used to describe their activities. ''When
we win," wrote one student "we share
the victory. But when we lose we still feel
good because we tried. We might lose in
points, but if we do our best, we are
always winners." And they always will be

This year's seniors at Russell,

class investigated and evaluated
the effects of the 1solated eighth
grade for the theme of their
yearbook. They found it to be "a
cocoon," beneficial to this
formative year of their lives.

The days of 1976-1977 were memorable
for students and teachers alike. Typically,
this class was an unusually industrious one.
There were, of course, exceptions- as
Assistant Principal Charles Crews will easily
recall. But any problems here were far
outweighed by the rewards. It was a good
year with good kids and good educators.

Fulton offered a social as well as educational
atmosphere. What more could you ask? It was fun.

adapt to high school life at Russell. Things are a lot
different there, most will agree, and though once they've
gone they miss South Fulton - 1t's always m the1r

happy people. It was an exciting time to be at South
Fulton.
